Three principal energy objectives are instrumental in guiding the future energy sector development. They are:-

The Supply Objective

To ensure the provision of adequate, secure, and cost-effective energy supplies through developing indigenous energy resources both non-renewable and renewable energy resources using the least cost options and diversification of supply sources both from within and outside the country;

The Utilization Objective

To promote the efficient utilization of energy and to discourage wasteful and non-productive patterns of energy consumption; and

The Environmental Objective

To minimize the negative impacts of energy production, transportation, conversion, utilization and consumption on the environment.
